That's a good one too. For whatever reason, I find it endlessly amusing to use clearly wrong terms that make it seem like you're totally out-of-step with modern technology. I have no idea why...but apparently I'm not the only one.
Agree - hard not to root for Day or the amateurs. Like I said, anyone on the board right now I can get behind. There isn't someone I really don't like on there.
Heh...I love that thread. I admit to gettin' my hate on once in a while, when I'm feeling less-than-charitable. I was frankly just surprised there were other people that sorta always hated on Tiger like myself...I swear I thought I was the only one. Although now that he's struggling so badly and so lost, it's not fun any more. And some of it was just a response to the way the media slobbered all over him, and of course now that they've totally turned on him I'm starting to find myself pulling for him a bit more these days. Who knows, but this idea that golf can't survive without Tiger is proving to be nonsense. There's no one guy that's all that important to the game - I mean, I forgot Rory wasn't even playing in this Open until one of the announcers mentioned it yesterday. Game's in good shape.
He's charging...kid's got ice in his veins. Nothing not to like about him.
I don't get DJ at all...is it just that he's not a good putter? I mean, the course is essentially a big open field where you can spray the ball anywhere and still be in play. Even the rough has been trimmed down to nothing (by Open standards). I recall the good ol' days of waist-high weeds and guys looking like they're harvesting wheat with a sickle trying to hack out of the crap if they missed too badly one way or the other. I'm not a fan of these low scores in major championships, but I'm not ardently opposed either. Personally, I like 2-3 tournaments a year - preferably the majors - to be contested around the even par mark. It just seems like it separates the truly mentally tough from the front-runners. But that's probably just BS, and I'll freely admit it; in the end, I just like seeing these guys hack-and-slash like weekend golfers at least a few times per year. It's compelling.
